well, Montana was the only goal today, and man this state is a beast. You hit billings and feel like you're getting somewhere only to find that Bozeman is still 100 miles away and Missoula isn't even on the big board yet. We stopped at pompeys pillar for the heck of it and though it's not unlikely I've been before, I didn't remember it. We actually made good time, powered by a book on tape from David sedarus and the indescribable Magnet generated by the mountains on the horizon. We made Missoula by late afternoon, and stopped for a run along the river and some beer at kettle house brewing. I had stopped here 4 years ago and returned my growler for a refill. Still great beer.
We had a bit of Trouble finding the first forest service campground, but then ran into one literally off a rest stop down a road. The freeway noise wasn't great, but it was cheap, not filled with obnoxious campers, and covered with majestic pines. Brats and beans are never a bad option camping. Throw in some Montana beer and s'mores and you've got yourself another great day road tripping.
